Sirat Ibn Hisham 1064
ʿAḍal and al-Qārah asked for a party of Muslims to teach them
[ حَدِيثُ حِمَايَةِ الدَّبْرِ لِعَاصِمِ ] فَلَمَّا قُتِلَ عَاصِمٌ أَرَادَتْ هُذَيْلٌ أَخْذَ رَأْسِهِ، لِيَبِيعُوهُ مِنْ سُلَافَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدِ بْنِ شُهَيْدٍ، وَكَانَتْ قَدْ نَذَرَتْ حِينَ أَصَابَ ابْنَيْهَا يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ: لَئِنْ قَدَرَتْ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَاصِمٍ لَتَشْرَبَنَّ فِي قِحْفِهِ الْخَمْرَ، فَمَنَعَتْهُ الدَّبْرُ، فَلَمَّا حَالَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُمْ [ الدَّبْرُ ] قَالُوا: دَعُوهُ يُمْسِي فَتَذْهَبُ عَنْهُ، فَنَأْخُذُهُ. فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْوَادِيَ، فَاحْتَمَلَ عَاصِمًا، فَذَهَبَ بِهِ وَقَدْ كَانَ عَاصِمٌ قَدْ أَعْطَى اللَّهَ عَهْدًا أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّهُ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلَا يَمَسَّ مُشْرِكًا أَبَدًا، تَنَجُّسًا؛ فَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَقُولُ: حِينَ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الدَّبْرَ مَنَعَتْهُ: يَحْفَظُ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ، كَانَ عَاصِمٌ نَذَرَ أَنْ لَا يَمَسَّهُ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلَا يَمَسَّ مُشْرِكًا أَبَدًا فِي حَيَاتِهِ، فَمَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ، كَمَا امْتَنَعَ مِنْهُ فِي حَيَاتِهِ
Translation
✧ [The account of the hornets' protection of ʿĀṣim] When ʿĀṣim was killed, Hudhayl wanted to take his head to sell it to Sulāfah bt. Saʿd b. Shuhayd, who had vowed when her two sons were struck down on the day of Uḥud: 'If I ever gain power over the head of ʿĀṣim, I will surely drink wine in his skull.' But the hornets prevented them. When the hornets came between him and them, they said, 'Leave him until evening, and they will go away from him, then we can take him.' Then God sent the torrent, and it carried ʿĀṣim away and took him off. ʿĀṣim had given God a covenant that no polytheist should ever touch him, nor should he ever touch a polytheist, out of defilement. ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb ؓ used to say, when he learned that the hornets had prevented them: 'God protects the believing servant. ʿĀṣim vowed that no polytheist would ever touch him, nor would he ever touch a polytheist, during his lifetime, so God prevented it after his death, just as he had avoided it during his lifetime.'
